Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is usually diagnosed based on symptoms and ruling out other conditions. Doctors ask about your digestive issues, such as bloating, stomach pain, diarrhea, or constipation. They may follow the "Rome IV" criteria, which looks for specific patterns in symptoms over the last three months. To rule out other causes, doctors may recommend blood tests, stool tests, or even a colonoscopy. Sometimes, food allergies or intolerances can cause similar symptoms, so those might be checked too. IBS doesn’t show up in standard medical tests, so the diagnosis is mainly based on your medical history and symptom patterns. If the symptoms are persistent and match IBS criteria, doctors can confidently diagnose the condition.
